My one most sought after piece of information relating to Buckingham County is this: When & where did my gggg-grandfather, Peter MOSES, die, and where is he buried? Peter Moses (1751 to ~1830) came to Buckingham County from Pikeland Township, Chester County, PA circa 1783. He bought land in Buckingham County in 1792, as evidenced by the land deed on file at the Library of Viriginia (searchable via their Digital Library, see http://eagle.vsla.edu/lonn/). His father, Adam Moses, died in Chester County, PA, in 1792 sometime prior to March 22nd; perhaps Peter purchased the land in Buckingham County with the money he was given via his father's will. The land purchased was next to that of a Joseph BRADLEY. Peter's second wife was Mary BRADLEY (or so I'm told; no evidence to support that at this time); the fact that Peter was living next to a Joseph BRADLEY gives credence to this possibility. Peter was a Lutheran in Chester County, but I'm not sure what church he might have been involved with in Buckingham County. His daughter was married by a Rev. Samuel Davidson, who I think I have asked about before. It's my understanding that a lot of the records in the area of Buckingham county were burned during the Civil War, though I could (hopefully...) be wrong on that point. What records exist, if any, that might pinpoint the grave of my Peter MOSES? -- Mary Taffet List Admin for VABUCKIN [email protected]

Dear Buckingham Listers, I would like to know the parents of John DRUEN (born 1749) and how his Buckingham County family is related (if at all) to the Albemarle County family of Druins. As a special Christmas treat, I would like to know the name of the spouse of John Druen of Buckingham. (Beverley appears as a family name after John, but I have yet to find the connection.) Thank you, Sid Druen
